Some Girls: My Life in a Harem by Jillian Lauren

4.0

Enjoyable, highly readable book. Plenty of salacious details about her time in the harem if that's what you're looking for, but Lauren also delves deeply into her own history - her issues, her motivations, her relationships. I think this book really benefited by being written so far after the events it portrays. She looks back on her earlier self with wisdom, empathy, and kindness - but also a clear-eyed assessment of just how messed up she was at the time.
